and stock markets react as well. european stocks closing down on grave concerns on what s happening on the euro zone and whether italy will be able to pay its bills. and stresses that we re seeing in the italian bond market. when you talk about stocks, stocks are much smaller than the overall bond market. the bond market is where governments, companies go to borrow money to keep going. the cost to borrow for governments, governments in trouble, has been rising. you have that above 7% now. 7.3% for italy to borrow money. that s even with the european central bank buying italian bonds and with europe doing things to stabilize things. 7% is seen as a dangerous signal, fredricka. when you ve seen rates climb that high before, it s triggered a bailout. how can you bail out italy? it s the third largest bond market and economy in europe. look at greece, for example, 27% the interest rates on greece bonds. greece can barely can t borrow money, quite frankly, anymore, because of it

osama s influence has been lessened, you know, year after year since 9/11. i mean basically as some hollywood rag would say it was a good career move for him to be executed because now he becomes a martyr. his power influence has ebbed and ebbed and ebbed. the organizations had been less and less centralized, he had less and less control, he was somebody people didn t respect. in a way this was the ultimate undoing. again, all of your photos in the time archives in the past two or three months, look for pictures of osama bin laden in posters and placards in cairo or damask or libya. you won t find them. he was man without a country. i hear his great goal all these years was removing mubarak in egypt. he had nothing do with it. and nobody thought about that, that that was happening.
